Such a dark world that’s been created so definitely look at the trigger warnings. But I was captivated by Maya’s story and had to know what happened

This is one of the darkest books I have ever read. It is compelling and well written and so engaging. And … I need an adult.

This was such a gripping read. There were one or two moments where I thought “how does that even work?” So I docked 1 point of logic, meaning it narrowly missed a 5 star rating. However, I absolutely loved this book. The storytelling was so immersive and, despite not having proper chapters, I found it so easy to read.
